TendSkin.... i haven't used it myself, but everyone around me says it works wonders. use it after shaving or waxing. you can find it at Ulta and probably Sephora too. Another thing you may want to try is to exfoliate the area at least 12 hours after waxing or shaving. Aveda has this great exfoliant that works chemically, it's not griddy like most others, it's a liquid and can also be used daily and not to mention on your face as well. apply with a cotton ball. If all else fails, you can opt to get the hairs removed by laser, that will kill the hair bulb and prevent it from growing back.

There are many really good treatments for ingrown hairs. They include Tend Skin, Priva Shave, Kalo IHT and Ingrow Go.

You can also buy special pointed tweezers for removing ingrown hairs with minimal damage to surrounding skin tissue.

I would also recommend masaging Ultra Shave into your skin post hair removal. It has wonderful skin healing properties and contains grape seed extract, which is 15000 times stronger than vitamin E. It has completely natural ingredients and is Parabenz free.

Answer 5

Sounds like razor burn here's a few things you can do. Use a hydrocortisone it will help with the redness sting and irritation or any cream that has benzoyl peroxide in it. Both can be found in the same aile you would find first aid stuff like band aids

Answer 6

yes they are razor bumps which is caused by the razor not cutting all the way down to the root.
It's better if you wax or use one of the products by Nair the no nits and cuts

Answer 7

these could be black heads.you should get them removed at a beauty parlor.you could also use a body scrubber(easily available at any good retail store).don't use a razor on your legs.for underarms you should apply a male aftershave colone after you shave to reduce the bumps.

Answer 8

Try using Aveno all-natural shaving cream and Aveno lotion afterwards. Its all natural, they even have sensitive skin, non-fragrance and oatmeal. A little more expensive, but you might see a big difference. Anytime I get shaving bumps its from my skin being irritated.

Try some other hair removal method, which may be more suitable.
